seashell wreath

Last summer, I found a whole box full of seashells at the Nashville Flea Market for $5. I've used them in hurricanes, etc., but knew they had more potential.

Then I found wreath forms at the Dollar Tree.

Madeline and I painted it out white
(so it wasn't such a big deal if there were gaps).

{Notice the blue star from a previous project :)}

Then spent the next couple of days working here and there, totaling a couple of hours to piece the shells onto the form, bit by bit. I used hot glue, but you have to be careful not to get the tip of the gun directly onto the wreath form. Other than that, it's just time.

And there's enough shells left to make about 4 more wreaths.
 I think I have a bad case of spring fever!
